A nice article in Computer World, uncharacteristically highlighting the tool of choice, Visual FoxPro. Titled “A greener environment through better data management. Data supporting farmers to improve productivity”:
The database software, which is written in Microsoft’s Visual FoxPro, gathers data from interactive PDFs and Web site entries. According to database developer Anne Allen, once the data is received from the farmers, the Visual FoxPro software delivers a report which in turn is sent back to the farmer in an email.
I’d like to see more good press on the VFP front!
